hotspot (Linux perf GUI) v1.1.0 available - now with timeline and record features

Hey all,

I have the pleasure to announce the availability of hotspot v1.1.0. Hotspot is a GUI for Linux perf. Right now, it's a drop-in replacement for (parts of) perf report. It aims to be easier to use, but comes with powerful features to analyze the profiler data. This new release adds a graphical event timeline as well as a graphical form to run perf on either newly launched applications or to attach to already running processes.

The full release announcement contains pretty screenshots:

You can download the release tarball from GitHub, as well as a portable AppImage, so there's no need to install anything:
